[Verse 1: Calum]
Within a minute I was all packed up
I've got a ticket to another world
I don't wanna go, I don’t wanna go
Silent words are hard to speak
When your thoughts are all I see
“Don’t ever leave,” she said to me

[Pre-Chorus: Luke & Ashton]
When we both fall asleep underneath the same sky
To the beat of our hearts at the same time
So close but so far away
Can you hear me, LA?

[Chorus: All]
She sleeps alone
My heart wants to come home
I wish I was, I wish I was beside you
She lies awake
I'm trying to find the words to say
I wish I was, I wish I was beside you

[Verse 2: Calum]
Another day and I’m somewhere new
I made a promise that I’ll come home soon
Bring me back, oh, bring me back to you

[Pre-Chorus: Luke & Ashton]
When we both wake up underneath the same sun
Time stops, I wish that I could rewind
So close but so far away
1, 2, go

[Chorus: All]
She sleeps alone
My heart wants to come home
I wish I was, I wish I was beside you
She lies awake
I'm trying to find the words to say
I wish I was, I wish I was

[Interlude: Michael]
Beside, guitar

[Bridge: Luke & Calum]
The pieces of us both, under every city light
And they're shining as we fade into the night
She sleeps alone, my heart wants to come home
I wish I was, I wish I was

[Chorus: All & Luke]
She sleeps alone
My heart wants to come home
I wish I was, I wish I was beside you
She lies awake
I'm trying to find the words to say
I wish I was, I wish I was beside you
Beside you, mmm

[Outro: Luke]
She sleeps alone my heart wants to come home
I wish I was, I wish I was
